Marionne Eveningstar, a girl ostracised by her peers due to descending from an alleged witch, finds an old manuscript titled 'Desire's Eden' in the old mansion her family inherited from her grandmother, the late 'crazy lady' of the fictional town Swellton. The words of the book, appearing to be written by blood, promise Marionne power and nigh-omnipotence, and once she reads it, even her most twisted desires come true after the sun sets. Marionne slowly descends into madness as she is unable to stop the ones around her from suffering cruel fates, some even worse than death. Whatever she wishes for, she gets. Even if she doesn't really want it. This is an origin story. The making of the goddess Nihtwode.
